Su Mu stood at the busy intersection, like an outsider, out of tune with everything around him.
Seeing this scene, he had a vague guess in his heart that the power of the God of Shadows suddenly erupted and destroyed the city, but the city was restored under the influence of some force.
It feels like...refreshing!
It's like in a game, you cleared out the monsters in a copy, and then when you entered the second time, all the monsters reappeared.
In order to verify his guess, he waited for a while and then went to the same coffee shop again. As expected, he saw the short-haired college student and the female white-collar worker he had met before.
Su Mu ordered a cup of coffee and sat in the same seat, and the same story happened.
They seemed to see themselves for the first time. The short-haired female college student hesitated for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to come over and chat with them. The female office worker threw the ball of wool herself, and then lied that it was a naughty cat. Everything was the same.
But this time, Su Mu ignored the female white-collar worker and walked out of the cafe directly.
He stood on the street and took out the cell phone of the female office worker he had just stolen. It was 4:55.
He waited quietly, time passed by minute by minute, when it was exactly five o'clock.
boom!!!
A deafening explosion sounded, and a horrifying black light burst out in the center of the city. Like an atomic bomb explosion, the black light expanded wildly in an inverted semicircle until it engulfed the entire city.
The surroundings turned into nothingness again.
In an instant, a brand new city rose out of nothingness.
Su Mu looked around and returned to the previous intersection.
"Back to the starting position? This is not a refresh, but a time reset!"
He pushed up his brown glasses, and a crystal blue light flashed in his eyes.
Every time I would return to the place where I just entered the nightmare, and the pedestrians passing by me were exactly the same as before.
It was the power of the God of Shadows that destroyed everything at five o'clock, and then the time of this nightmare would be reset and return to the original time.
Swish!
Su Mu's figure disappeared in an instant. When he appeared again, he had arrived right above the center of the city. He waited silently. He wanted to determine where the shadow power erupted from.
When the time came to five o'clock, boom!!!
The shadow power erupted again, and he finally locked the location of the explosion, which was a hundred-meter-high skyscraper, and the power erupted from behind the skyscraper.
Time was reset again, and Su Mu came directly behind the skyscraper. The sunlight was blocked by the skyscraper, casting a long shadow behind it.
There is an alley in the shadows, where several white-collar workers in suits are gathered together, smoking and complaining about their leader's scandals.
Su Mu revealed himself and walked towards several white-collar workers. They glanced at him, then ignored him and continued smoking and chatting.
Is it the shadow power that erupted from them?
Su Mu frowned slightly. In his perception, these people were just ordinary people, without any supernatural powers at all.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded from the garbage dump deep in the alley. The voice was extremely hoarse, as if he had not spoken to anyone for a long time, and there was a hint of excitement in it.
"You...are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before?"
There was a rustling sound in the garbage dump, and a dirty, hunched figure stood up from it, staring at Su Mu with a pair of eyes.
Su Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the homeless man in front of him. He was unkempt, his features could not be seen clearly, and his clothes were tattered.
He looked like an ordinary homeless man, but Sumu could feel the power of the God of Shadows and the throbbing of his soul from him!
He had followed the throbbing of his soul all the way to this nightmare, and now he finally saw the source of the throbbing, which was this homeless man.
"I just arrived." Su Mu replied.
Hearing this, the homeless man's eyes flashed with excitement, but then quickly extinguished. He smiled bitterly and said, "When did you enter?"
"About half past four."
“Heh…” The homeless man let out an ambiguous laugh, as if mocking him, but more like mocking himself: “You’re really miserable. You only have half an hour every day.”
Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and understood what the homeless man meant. The other party knew that the explosion would occur at five o'clock, and he could obviously retain his memory during the time reset, unlike the previous people, whose memories were reset as well.
"How about you? How much time do you have?"
The homeless man held up a dirty finger: "One day."
"One day? The time resets at 5 o'clock every day, but you have a whole day?"
The tramp nodded: "Yes, the time loop started from the moment I entered. It started with me and ended with me."
"Who are you?"
The tramp grinned and said, "I have been circulating here for five years. Five years should not be enough to erase my name from hell. You must have heard of my name. I am...the Pope of the Primordial God Church!"
pope?
Su Mu frowned. Another Pope? If the person in front of him was the Pope, then who was the Pope in the outside world?
"What? You don't believe it? Judging from your appearance, you must have seen the counterfeits outside, right?" A hint of hatred flashed in the homeless man's eyes, but soon that hatred turned into numbness.
"This is a long story. You may not believe me, but I don't care. I don't care whether you believe me or not. I just want to talk to someone. This dreamland can only be entered but not exited. Time always repeats on this day, and the people here are just ordinary people.
When I talk to them, they don't understand at all and just treat me as a lunatic. Of course, you can also treat me as a lunatic, or even dislike me and kill me. It doesn't matter. Anyway, after a hundred or a thousand times of time, you will always come to find me. "
Su Mu walked slowly towards the homeless man, then sat down on the ground, not caring at all about the dirty garbage around him. He didn't need to wash his clothes anyway, and they would be restored in a while.
Seeing Su Mu sitting over, the tramp grinned and said, "You are an interesting person. Maybe the days to come will not be so boring. By the way, how did you get into the abyss? Although I have lost all my strength now, my eyesight is still there. I can see that your strength is very weak.
With your strength, it is impossible for you to survive and pass through the place where the evil god sealed ahead. Don't tell me yet, let me guess, you must have encountered a rare time and space turbulence that only occurs once in a hundred years, and then you were swept in, right?"
Su Mu did not answer, but looked carefully at the homeless man's dirty face. He always felt that it was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it there before.
